Property Description
Historically Significant, Surprisingly Flexible – 1355 Kennedy St NW!
Step into a piece of American history with this spacious and charming row home in 16th St. Heights/Brightwood Park. Featuring 4–5 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and nicely sized rooms, this residence offers both character and comfort on a deep lot with ample outdoor space for gardening, entertaining, or future expansion.
What truly sets this property apart is its remarkable legacy—1355 Kennedy St NW was the very first home in the nation purchased using the VA Loan benefit, a milestone formally recognized in 2019 during the 75th Anniversary of the GI Bill. While rich in historical significance, the property is not within a historic zone, freeing future owners from the restrictions and obligations often tied to historically designated homes.
The home retains architectural appeal with its distinctive terra cotta tiled mansard roof, classic stucco façade, decorative fireplace and generous natural light throughout. Whether you're looking to move in as-is or bring your vision to life, this property offers incredible potential in one of DC's most vibrant neighborhoods—just minutes from parks, restaurants, and transit.
Note: a rear, a right-of-way easement is recorded that provides access through the alley for neighboring properties—
